<h1>Keyword Assignment page</h1>

<h2>Purpose:</h2>
<p>The Keyword Assignment page is the place where users can batch 
assign keywords to the existing component, category or test case</p>

<h2>To Assign Keywords:</h2>
<ol>
	<li>Select a component, category, or test case on the tree view 
		on the left.</li>
	<li>The top most box that shows up on the right hand side will 
		allow you to assign available keywords to every single test 
		case.</li>
	<li>The selections below allow you to assign cases at a more 
		granular level.</li>
</ol>

<h2>Important Information Regarding Keyword Assignments in Test Plans:</h2>
<p>Keyword assignments you make to the specification will only effect test cases in your test plans if and only if the test plan contains the latest version of the test case. Otherwise if a test plan contains older versions of a test case, assignments you make now WILL NOT appear in the test plan.
</p>
<p>
TestLink uses this approach so that older versions of test cases in test plans are not effected by keyword assignments you make to the most recent version of the test case. If you want your test cases in your test plan to be updated, first verify they are up to date using the "Update Modified Test Cases" functionality BEFORE making keyword assignments.
